156 | Christopher Ryan | Going From Success To Significance

The Greatness Machine

How do you move forward after achieving your long-sought-after goals? Where do you go next after you succeed? Wouldn’t it be great if you could do something meaningful beyond success?

Being human is all about adding value to the lives around you, and that’s when you realize that you have moved past being merely successful to becoming significant. Bob Buford, in his book Halftime, wrote, “When all is said and done, our success will be pretty empty unless it has included a corresponding degree of significance.”

When we live a life of significance, we focus on others rather than ourselves. Having a true understanding of the things that matter most to us is what it means to be significant.

Christopher Ryan, former CEO of peer-to-peer mastermind organization GoBundance, joins us to talk about the differences between success and significance.

In this episode, Darius and Chris discuss the importance of knowing your vocation and what it feels like to move from success to significance. They also talk about the value of family and what it truly means to leave a lasting legacy.

Topics include:

• What helped Chris find his calling and vocation
• What is success and how to measure it
• What it looks like shifting from success to significance
• Why a parent-child relationship is important
• Chris shares the secret behind the success of GoBundance
• What it means to leave a legacy
• Overcoming imposter syndrome
